    Curious to know if all the above Massive users are using the original or X (the original, I suppose).
    (While I really think Massive X has a great sound, its laggy gui and other quirks just put me off completely).

    Give me Massive X, Zebra, Reaktor, and Kontakt, and a DAW with some basics like... recording and MIDI, maybe a reverb and delay. I'm all set then.

    Sure there's more that I like and use often, but hey, it was supposed to be a minimal list!

    As a young, novice sound designer. I gave Massive X about ten minutes and went back to the original Massive and downloaded some more preset banks.

    1. Old Massive
    2. Omnisphere, even with it's Steam folder annoyance.
    3. Addictive Drums
    4. Geist 2
    5. OsTIrus... orgasmic pad machine.
    6. Valhalla ... they deserve a Nobel Dub prize.
    7. Liquidsonics Reverberate .. plus King Tubby IR's.
    8. Pianoteq.
    9. Dune 3
    10. Serum (partly because of the Test Press Ambient Jungle pack)

    Honorable mentions:

    ANA2 ..for making chords.
    DADA Life
    Octamed on the Amiga

    I honestly rely on more than 10 in every song, so I'm definitely handicapped here coming up with just 10. LOL Here goes, though. I'll eliminate VSTis, cause while I couldn't tolerate using only the ones built into Reaper, I could use just about anything, free or paid.

    So...
    Fabfilter Pro-Q
    Fabfilter Pro-C
    Fabfilter Pro-MB
    Fabfilter Pro-L
    Valhalla VintageVerb
    Valhalla Delay
    Softube Saturation Knob
    Softube Transient Shaper
    Standard Clip
    Shaperbox 3 (I could make do without it, and I never used to use SB2 much, but I love SB3 now)

    Bonus Monitoring/Analytical tools:
    Flux Stereo Tool
    Voxengo Span
